Just started with this but download WAMP which has a different set up rules <vbg>

Where the book states

DocumentRoot “C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs”

The Document root in the WAMP system is:-

DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"

I changed this to ":c:/wamp/www/test" and also the subsequent line that needed changing but when I try http://localhost/ I get the Apache information and not the 'test' program.I have to enter http://localhost/test/ to get success.
